Join author and disability rights advocate Rebecca Alexander as she meets the founders and educators of Protactile, a language based solely on touch. Historically, DeafBlind people have been limited to using interpreters to communicate. With Protactile, one-on-one and group conversations are not only possible, but they also allow for deeper and more meaningful connection.

The human brain is amazing. It so hard to comprehend how someone who has never heard a word or seen any kind of symbol can still have the ability to comprehend and use a language just as descriptive and complex as any.

Wow, I learned asl 25 years ago, I have use it off and on. I also taught my boys. Now I'm a certified nursing assistant and just got a new patient that is deaf and blind. I want to learn this technique so I can communicate. This video was very helpful😊

Protactile real show that people always find a way to communicate. Its branded in our dna. Millions of year of evolution in a social species does this.

@samalsrei5089 5 месяцев назад

Protactile sounds like a beautiful language. Thank you for sharing this information with the world!

@privateprivate1865 3 месяца назад

Sounds like a necessity as well.. what a nightmare to live a life of silence and blindness, especially if you were once sighted and hearing abled

American Masters PBS & Rebecca Alexander 🙏🏾 Thank You! Protactile is profound, and could change how *ALL* people relate & communicate! It’s beautiful

@taylor3950 2 месяца назад

I’m really glad that it’s growing and evolving. I watched a few videos about it years ago, but now it seems more fleshed out and distinct from ASL. So cool to see.

@alanolson6913 2 дня назад

I’m HOH (hard of hearing). I sign and wear dual hearing aids. I’ve had the privilege of meeting a deaf/blind man a long while ago. The protactile language had yet to be developed so we used ASL. Our visit went well, so very interesting to me to learn about his life.

@joycestevens376 5 месяцев назад

Heard an NPR interview on 12/30/23 using Protactile. Was so entranced by the description of Protactile and the interviewer discussing and sharing what was occurring during the interview using the Protactile method. I have tried to learn a little ASL to be able to communicate with the deaf, but this would be far beyond my 78 year old ability to learn. I am so happy that you have a way a communicating with each other. To me it is quite amazing and beautiful.

@kremenanikolova2239 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this informative video! I had no idea that Protactile exists. I knew in my heart that sign language is not enough.

@bettycaudill3299 8 дней назад

I don't remember where I heard about triplets born as deaf and blind, but the mother was able to get help somewhere. Maybe this place was it. If not I hope it was someplace like it. A place like this helps the deaf and blind be more independent as much as possible. Thank you for sharing this.

Now I want to learn this and be involved. This is awesome. I absolutely believe a touch can say thousand words.

@Matt-Hazel 2 месяца назад

It makes me wonder if this could be used to teach people who can't use words or but can see and hear to communicate. My cousin has a daughter who is non verbal autistic, but is very quick to understand if there is touch involved. Like gently moving hands away from objects that should not be touched. Showing that we are not mad, but just are asking her to not touch it. But right now she can't understand why. But that's because the words may not make any sense to her. If I could learn this. This could save her from a institutionlized life.

But if you give the sign for a dog as what is nearly the "heavy metal horns" what is the sign for wolf? Coyote? llama? goat? Or deer? And if the lady at the very beginning of the video has always been deafblind, how can she mouth the words? Im stoked that these ppl can communicate at all, dont get me wrong, but i got questions...

@joeblogs5314 3 месяца назад

My Farther in heaven please take care of these lovely souls and i thank God for the trainers of this touch language YOU ARE MY HEROES never had a hero in my life before ever and i can see and hear normally ... I Love you with all my heart and soul and with ALL the life in me ...i wish i could help it would give me more pleasure and satisfaction in life than if i was a billionaire !

@Familylawgroup День назад

Are there centers for learning Protactile near St. Louis? If a person is new to hearing loss and anticipates vision loss during their lifetime, is it best to start with protactile or should the person know ASL first?

@prinzezze 9 месяцев назад

Hopefully I’ll never become deaf and blind I’d definitely not be comfortable with someone touching me that much.

@TheWorldIsDumb 8 месяцев назад

It's just a matter of time.

If you actually went deaf and blind you would get over that real quick.

@resourceress7 4 месяца назад

Why do you have so many shots where all we can see is someone's head? That is the opposite of where all of the language is. You need to put the whole signing space and tactile space onscreen. If people were only communicating with their mouths, then okay sure headshot, but this is not that. And this entire documentary is about the communication itself. Put it onscreen!

That's not new when I was young I met Helen Keller we went on a class trip to the United Nations in New York City in the early 60s I was in junior high school there was a lady with her I think her name was ann Silverman she created that type of sign language I met the real Helen Keller wow in New York City they have the Helen Keller institute We're they teach the technique to deaf and blind people.
